International Standard VersionKing James Bible
1From: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. 1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!2Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Brothers, at all times we are obligated to thank God for you. It is right to do this because your faith is growing all the time and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. 3We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4As a result, we rejoice about you among God's churches—about your endurance and faith through all the persecutions and afflictions you are experiencing. 4So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5This is evidence of God's righteous judgment and is intended to make you worthy of God's kingdom, for which you are suffering. 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6Certainly it is right for God to pay back those who afflict you with affliction, 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7and to give us who are afflicted relief when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8in blazing fire. He will take revenge on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9Such people will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction by being separated from the Lord's presence and from his glorious power 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10when he comes to be glorified by his saints and to be regarded with wonder on that day by all who have believed—including you, because you believed our testimony.10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11With this in mind, we always pray for you, asking that our God might make you worthy of his calling and that through his power he might help you accomplish every good desire and faithful action. 11Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12That way the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus, the Messiah. 12That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
